Is there? Well that makes things interesting then. Africa is obvious, Australasia is mostly desert, North America must have bits of Texas/Nevada that count, Antartica is technically all desert I believe, Asia has Mongolia...so is there one in South America?

I'm sure Europe is the wanted answer, but the Desierto de Tabernas, unsurprisingly in Andalucia, is considered a desert.

I had a Rude Dog and the Dweebs t-shirt while I was at uni.

I am sure my wife must have a bit of a clear out on my t-shirts sometimes as I can't recall ever throwing one out but some of the old ones have disappeared.
